Believed to date back to the 1600s, with some later additions, Holt Preen
Manor is a striking house nestled amongst the beautiful Shropshire Hills.
The house exhibits stunning original features, such as exposed wall and
ceiling beams, floorboards and fireplaces. With all rooms offering good
proportions, the accommodation flows well from the front entrance hall and
into the sitting/dining room, which has an impressive inglenook fireplace
fitted with a log burning stove. Adjacent is the drawing room, again being
fitted with a stove and having a dual aspect.
The kitchen has a four oven Aga and ample space for informal dining. A useful
study, utility and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.
Stairs rise either from the drawing room or the sitting/dining room to the
first floor, where there are three good sized double bedrooms, together with a
bathroom.
Stairs rise again to the second floor, where there is a large landing area
leading onto two attic rooms, offering potential for conversion into further
accommodation if required.
Whilst not a necessity, the house would benefit from some modernisation to
make the most out of the impressive and historic building.

land enjoys a pleasant aspect, with sheltered valleys, productive meadow land
and good sized fields, all well fenced. The current owners keep cattle and

The undulating nature of the land creates a truly private and traditional
